As a man of Garifuna descent reclaiming my ancestry I am grateful for your work. Thank you for doing this. Also, this is one of the few documentaries I ever seen that preserves so much respect and honor for the people being presented. You allowed for natural and organic expression giving the people a human feel and not like some lab rats on display. I also appreciate that you all interacted with them in a respectful and communal way (the way the young boys would laugh and joke with you all was heart warming and put you on the same level) but made sure not to interject too much. You all were humble, curious, playful, and respectful. You allowed the stories to be told from the source. Keep up the god work. You all are so young yet many can learn from your example. Stay blessed cousins.🙏🏿❤

Thank you for the kind words. We thoroughly enjoyed our time working in the school in Punta Gorda and made good friends with many people in the local community. I wish to go back soon.

Agree! This was beautifully pieced together. So much humanity and heart in every minute. Blessings on your journey and much love and solidarity to the Garifuna community from a member of the diaspora caribeña y centroamericana

Beautiful documentation. Thank you! Today, the Garifuna of Punta Gorda are being forcibly displaced by Honduran National Police (DPI) to clear the land for tourism development, unconstitutional free trade zones (ZEDES) and the privatization of communal Garfifuna territories. Please follow and learn more about their struggle against displacement by following OFRANEH (Organizacion Fraternal Negra Hondureña) and the work and leadership Garifuna Maestra, Miriam Miranda.

The garifuna, in other documentary state they are indigenous to originally from st Vincent they rebelled against British they were shipped out on the sea to die but survived and ended up Guatemala in Livingston… they were there before the British or other people

[@andreabarnes5879]

What part of Africa your ancestors came from. Got my answer. I am from Jamaica, some of our ancestors are from the same tribe, as well as Ashanti. The African roots run deep.

[@dreadnegus]

True!! You all also celebrate Joncanoo!! Bless up cousin!!

[@dreadnegus]

The story behind it changed over time (as happens) but it's the same thing!

[@dreadnegus]

I love how in Jamaica y'all have Belly Woman. I love to see Belly Woman roll that belly, lol! Blessings to the ancestors!
